Chapter 822: Chapter 557: (Double-Length)
As Chuxia was walking out after work, she ran into Luo Xiaoqiong, so she stopped: “Are you waiting here because you have some news for me again?”
“No.” Luo Xiaoqiong shook her head, “I’m not an intelligence agent, how could I have so much gossip all the time? I just wanted to tell you that my parents came today.”
“Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie are here?” Chuxia’s eyes widened in surprise, “Why was there no news about this before? Where are they now? They’re staying over for the New Year, right?”
“Yes, they came here to spend the New Year with us, mainly to spend it with my future sister-in-law…” Luo Xiaoqiong shrugged, “My brother isn’t married yet, and I’ve already lost my place in their hearts. When they bring my sister-in-law home, I’ll probably really be sidelined.”
“Nonsense!” Chuxia glared at her, “Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie aren’t like that. Your future sister-in-law isn’t married into the Luo family yet, so they feel uncertain, of course, they’d treat Erniu better. You’re getting jealous over this, have some shame. You still haven’t told me where they are, hurry and say it!”
“Where else could they be, of course at the guest house on the base. Don’t think about discussing us spending New Year at the Zhou family, my parents won’t accept it.
Even though they’re staying at the guest house, it’s at least arranged by my brother’s help, my parents feel a sense of belonging there. Plus, when we all close the door, it’s not much different from celebrating at home.
If we went to the Zhou family, with your whole clan creating a ruckus, who knows, my parents might start missing the lively times at home, so don’t worry about them.”
“You’re overthinking it…” Chuxia patted Luo Xiaoqiong’s shoulder, “I never intended for Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie to spend New Year at the Zhou family. I know their personalities, there’s no way I would have them find discomfort there.
If it weren’t for the Zhou family moving from the old house to the ancestral home, my parents wouldn’t be spending New Year at the Zhou family either. Those people place great importance on lineage.
I was asking where they are because I wanted to take my parents over to see them after dinner. They haven’t met for so long, they must have a lot to talk about.”
“Chuxia, you’re becoming more considerate…” Luo Xiaoqiong gave her a thumbs up, “I thought you were going to say to have my parents join the Zhou family for dinner.”
“Am I that silly?” Chuxia rolled her eyes helplessly, “With your family’s current situation, Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie have no lack of food or clothes. If they went to the Zhou family, they’d definitely feel all kinds of uncomfortable. How could it be more comfortable than having a meal with you guys?
Besides, I’m the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and now with the whole family gathered together, even if I want to invite your parents for dinner, I have to talk it over with Zhou Mikang first.”
“Tsk!” Luo Xiaoqiong nudged her, “The commander treats you so well, even if you didn’t mention it, he’d certainly go along with it, why are you pretending in front of me?”
“Him going along with me is one thing, me seeking his opinion is another. Even between husband and wife, you have to learn mutual respect. Otherwise, over time, he’ll definitely get annoyed.
Xiaoqiong, even though you’re my future sister-in-law, I have to remind you too, don’t assume everything is taken for granted, because over time, everyone gets tired and finds fault.
To keep a long-lasting relationship, you must learn to be tolerant. I’m currently learning this issue, maybe I’m not doing very well, but I’ve realized the importance of it.
Of course, I’m not saying I don’t want to invite Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie home for dinner, I’ve already explained the specific reason earlier, and that’s my genuine thought.”
“I know, having known you for so long, how could I not know what you’re thinking?” Luo Xiaoqiong responded with a dissatisfied grunt, “Hurry up, finish dinner early and come find us.”
“Got it.” Chuxia waved and ran out. Zhou Mikang’s car was already parked at the courtyard gate. She ran over and jumped into the car with a few quick steps, grinning at Zhou Mikang, “Have you been waiting long?”
“No, just got here.” Zhou Mikang started the car and drove out, “Suddenly so polite and courteous, I’m not used to it, did you do something against me?”
“Tsk!” Chuxia rolled her eyes, “You’re really asking for it, feeling uncomfortable even when I’m being nice. By the way, didn’t that commander come to settle scores with you?”
“No.”
“Really, not a peep or anything?”
